Know before you buy
The handle is crafted from Polyoxymethylene (POM), a high-density plastic known for its durability and resistance to fading. Its ergonomic design provides a secure, slip-resistant grip that remains comfortable even when your hands are wet.
No, this knife is not dishwasher safe. High-heat cycles and harsh detergents can damage the blade's edge and degrade the handle material, so hand washing with warm water and mild soap is recommended.
Full tang means the steel of the blade extends all the way through the handle. This provides superior structural integrity, better balance, and increased durability compared to knives where the blade is only partially embedded.
A 58 Rockwell hardness indicates a balance between edge retention and ease of sharpening. It is hard enough to hold a sharp edge through daily prep work, but soft enough that you can easily maintain that edge with a honing steel.
The full bolster acts as a transition point between the handle and the blade, providing a comfortable finger rest. It also adds weight to the center of the knife, which helps improve balance and provides a protective guard for your fingers during use.
